KNTA Kintera (MM)

Kintera(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:KNTA) today announced MedStar Health has signed a multi-year agreement to use Kintera Contact Relationship Management (CRM) and Kintera Prospect Relationship Management to centralize MedStar's fundraising systems and expand their fundraising revenue. MedStar Health is a nonprofit, community-based healthcare organization serving the Baltimore/Washington region. MedStar Health will integrate the donor databases of each of its seven hospitals and two additional MedStar Health organizations into Kintera CRM, enabling the organization's development officers to easily manage a single set of supporter records and track the progress of turning prospects into donors. The centralized information will provide MedStar Health greater insight into supporter behavior and the ability to focus resources to increase fundraising results. In addition, MedStar has selected Kintera Prospect Relationship Management to find and cultivate its best donor prospects. Integrated within Kintera CRM, the product suite offers Prospect Information Network (P!N) Electronic Screening(TM) to help MedStar find, profile and rank potential donors. Using P!N Electronic Screening, the organization can determine a donor's affinity toward MedStar, financial capacity to give and propensity to behave as a major, planned or annual donor. The product suite also features P!N Opps, which enables MedStar Health development officers to manage the fundraising lifecycle with detailed reporting and data tracking. "All MedStar organizations will now be able to better identify and cultivate our existing and potential donors using Kintera's robust applications," said Dennis McClellan, corporate vice president of Development at MedStar Health. "Streamlining information and targeting key prospects will enable us to run more effective fundraising campaigns. We also look forward to making use of many of Kintera's other capabilities in the coming years." "Kintera's CRM and prospect identification innovations are helping our clients, such as MedStar, run more successful fundraising campaigns by improving functionality, lowering administrative costs and targeting the right donors," said Dennis Chyba, senior vice president of Knowledge Products for Kintera.
